The personal site you're browsing: an accessible Astro portfolio that brings my work, skills, current focus, and freelance availability into one fast, maintainable home.

awinter.dev

Why I built it

I wanted a personal site that could show both sides of my life: the developer who enjoys architecture and the person figuring out where and how to live.

I designed and built the site as a small, evolving product. It introduces my work, explains how I can help, and gives personal projects enough room to tell their own stories.

Technical choices

  • Astro 6 keeps client-side JavaScript to a minimum.
  • Tailwind CSS 4 provides a consistent visual system without a large component layer.
  • Content Collections keep project pages structured and type-safe.
  • TypeScript catches mistakes as the site evolves.

Design decisions

The design uses a dark foundation, translucent surfaces, and a small set of bright accent colors. Motion is subtle and supports the hierarchy instead of competing with the content.

  • Responsive layouts work from small phones to wide screens.
  • Accessible structure provides clear headings, labels, and keyboard navigation.
  • Small interactions make links and project cards feel responsive.
  • Optimized images and fonts keep the experience fast.

What it demonstrates

This project shows how I approach a focused web build: start with the purpose, choose a lean architecture, and polish the details without turning a simple site into an overengineered system.

I'm currently available for freelance projects.
